Hello planet; This update information from Siemens may help; it explains the temperature/altitude relation for S7 PLCs: https://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/llisapi.dll According to the user manual, SIMATIC S7-300 and S7-400 PLCs may only be |

Hello, Thanks. How about using products of SIPLUS or IS, such as ET200iSP. |

Hello planet; To my knowledge, tghere is nothing in the special configurations of Siplus or the ET 200iSP to make the units better at supporting high altitudes. Siplus is designed to support a higher temperature range, a more corrosive atmosphere and mopre vibrations than standard units (this would be good if you plan to install your application inside a very high volcano, come to think of it.... https://www.automation.siemens.com/siplus/html_76/produkte/warum.htm#medial Here is how Siemens describes the attributes of the ET 200iSP: They also support harsh environments and hih temperatures, of course. The SIMATIC ET 200iSP distributed I/O system is the economical solution for areas subject to explosion hazards. The intrinsically safe, modular I/O station is particularly flexible and requires minimum engineering, installation and cabling overhead. In addition to the flameproof power supply and the interface module for PROFIBUS DP, which can also be configured redundantly, the station can accommodate as many as 32 electronic modules for a maximum of 256 digital or 128 analog signals. Existing analog or HART field devices can also be connected in a simple manner https://www.automation.siemens.com/simatic/dp/html_76/produkte/et200isp.htm?HTTPS=REDIR Look at the descriptions of the different product lines, maybe their special caracteristics can offer certain advantages for your application. But I believe you can use the standard units if your only problem is the altitude. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
